Let's face it, some people are just not meant to be parents! They are nothing more than losers who are incapable to appreciating the gift that God has given them. The following story is a prime example.
Police have arrested a woman accused of abandoning her quadriplegic son in the woods for several days to go visit her boyfriend in Maryland.
41-year-old Nyia Parler, the victim's mother, was taken into custody in Maryland early last Sunday morning.
She will face charges in Philadelphia following an extradition hearing.
Parler is charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, reckless endangerment, kidnapping, false imprisonment and related offenses.
Police say they don't believe Parler's boyfriend had any involvement.
Detectives say this is one of the worst cases of neglect that they've ever seen.
"This kid is obviously a fighter. It's just unbelievable how we found him last night. It's just heartbreaking to see how another human, especially a mother, could treat him like that," said Lt. John Walker, Philadelphia Police.
On Friday night, a man walking on a trail made the discovery at 59th Street and Cobbs Creek Parkway in Philadelphia's Cobbs Creek section.
Police say the 21-year-old victim is a quadriplegic with cerebral palsy. He's confined to a wheelchair and has no verbal communication skills.
According to authorities, the young man's mother laid him on the ground and left him there for at least a week with only a blanket and a Bible.
"Sometimes around 11:00 a.m., the mother went to visit her boyfriend down in Maryland. We believe she placed the child into the Cobbs Creek park right there in the 1100 block of 59th Street right by the parkway," said Lt. Walker.
Investigators say the special needs man attends The High School of the Future at 42nd Street and Parkside Avenue.
The school became concerned and couldn't reach his mother so they called an aunt.
Once in touch with the mom, authorities say she lied.
"She indicated to both family members and police officers the child was with her down with her boyfriend in Maryland," said Lt. Walker.
Police say the mother lives in the 5700 block of Baltimore Avenue with the victim and a 16-year-old child.
Neighbors, who didn't know them, were appalled.
"Only a monster - that's your blood, that's your son, you gave birth to him," said Keyneah Lane.
Police say the child is lucky to be alive.
"He has a cut to his back that they are concerned about because of infection. He's also suffering from dehydration, and some malnutrition issues that they are working on. Also from the weather conditions, his eyes are having some issues and they're having a doctor come in and look at those," said Lt. Walker.
Lt. Walker says the victim is surrounded by loving family members while he remains at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia receiving treatment.
Doctors there are familiar with him and his medical history because he's been treated there since childhood.
The woman's 16-year-old child is also in the care of family.

Deplurable, dispicable, and insane. There is nothing left to say.

How should she be punished, you ask? Well, I think that she should be made to sit in a wheelchair, without the use of her limbs (tied); no food, no water, no bathroom AND how many days and nights was the young man out there? Then she should have twice as many days and nights as he had. Then she should be thrown in prison for twenty years. (Lawd a' mercy-- she must really like her boyfriend--but if I were he, I'd stay the heck away from her--what would happen if he lost the use of HIS limbs--more abandonment!)
